12 Down-Home Dishes

There’s nothing like the taste of some good ol’ down-home food that takes us back to our mothers’ or grandmothers’ kitchen table. It’s amazing how food has that power, isn’t it? We all want our children to have those same memories, but gathering around the table with the whole family is a tradition that’s been lost in many families. Let’s try to bring it back with some real down-home dishes that you just can’t help but love. Paula, unsurprisingly, has a whole bunch of classic dishes that have been passed down through her family, as well as some recipes of her own.

So what dishes bring back those old memories for you? And do you have any recipes you want to pass down through your family?
